"It's so bizarre."

Rebecca White's eyes, wide and filled with innocence, suddenly brimmed with tears that silently rolled down her cheeks. "How could James possibly be my child? I've never had a child... Never."

Suddenly, Rebecca clutched her head in agony.

"My head is killing me!"

She winced, shaking her head in pain as her complexion turned even paler. "Why does it hurt so much?"

Her phone buzzed in her pocket.

It was Francis.

Clutching the phone tightly, Rebecca hesitated for a moment before swiping to answer, "Hello?"

"Rebecca."

"I'll be right up."

"Okay, I'll wait."

After hanging up, Rebecca opened the door and entered the dorm. Soon after, Francis arrived.
